"Falling in love with him was like a storm; fascinating and exciting, dangerous and unpredictable. 
Falling in love with her was like sunshine; warm and bright, but getting too close meant getting burned." 

Bellas dad died. Plain and simple. And so did Bella's life. Her mother reminded her over and over again- starting over will be good for them. And starting over meant 9,000 miles away in Australia for 5 years. Now, 5 years older and a completely new person, Bella is about to end up right back where she started. 
Returning home was never going to be easy- especially when Bella is running from a past threatening to catch up to her any moment.

Bella soon realises her father wasn't who she thought he was, her mother is hiding a deep secret and the boy she couldn't wait to come back to is part of a world of underground fighting that could be the key to everything Bella is searching for. 

Blood is thicker than water, but lies are thicker than blood.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

Because of Karson by lauren9853_

Dakota is just like every other 17 year old high school senior. Or that's what everyone thinks. Everyone sees Dakota as this funny, sarcastic, and caring girl. What people don't see is how much she is truly suffering inside. People don't know that the smile she always wears is completely fake. They don't know what's really going on at home. They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings. She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on. She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota. And one certain bad boy can read her like an open book. Will Dakota eventually let these three bad boys in? Or will she keep everything in until she finally reaches her breaking point?

The Rising Chaos by Morana000

A girl, all alone, who ran the road full of scattered glasses, fell many times throughout her life and was forced to stand up again and again. How much more can she compress inside a pot till it bursts open? She built a castle of her own and her crown out of the sand. How much more till everything slips away from her hand? Different names and different identities throughout her journey, completed countless missions, successfully gained power in the wicked world at a young age, how much more till everything vanishes again? Assigned to a new mission, with strangers, with zero knowledge of the world she belongs to, a completely new path is waiting to be walked ahead. In her new journey, she finds what she had once lost, and forms new bonds. The stone-cold heart gets melted by friendship and most of all love. Hidden secrets get discovered, pictures behind the curtains get revealed, and her haunting past rises to the surface, chasing her, vowing to destroy whatever she has ever built, vowing to destroy her. Loss. Hatred. Wrath. And Love. The journey of Luna within the rising chaos. How much more till she losses humanity?

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
